I highly recommend this place - Great food and service and prices!

by nicjen

We live in the neighborhood but didn't stop in because the place was always empty. After hearing great comments we decided to give it a try and were pleasantly surprised. Now, we go up to 3 times a week. The food and service are always consistent. Love the fish tacos, nachos, BLT, etc., etc. Oh, the breakfasts, too. Everything is always fresh, even the chips are delivered warm to your table. Thanks Magda.

• Pros: Food, Service, Price, Seating
• Cons: It's addicting.

East Williamsburg locals fuel up on cheap Mexican-American grub at this low-key cafe.

by Justin Hartung

In Short
A smattering of paintings by local artists and red walls constitute the bulk of the decor at this Mexican-American cafe. Comfy, worn-out armchairs provided sip spots for cappuccinos and lattes during the day, while servers sling burritos, tacos and burgers to the table seats in the evening. Locals swear by the fish tacos and complain about the sometimes pokey service. The long bar doubles as a pastry counter and mini library stocked with pamphlets from the neighborhood.

Great East Williamsburg neighborhood place.

by jittles

The food isn't spectacular, and the service is spotty at best, but this a great low-key place with good food that's well worth the low prices (meals under $10). Brunch is particularly good.

• Pros: Laidback atmosphere, low prices, good food
• Cons: Unpredictable service

Cute cozy Latino food

by tmousewins

The salt and pepper shakers are all collectors items...boy and girl, ferris wheels..etc etc. The food is average...on the mexican flare side...service is decent. Just a good place for brunch on the weekend.

• Pros: cozy

Yummy, cute, and cheap

by patriciakm

Nothing to write home about, but a great neighborhood joint to grab a casual bite to eat. Decent food, nicely prepared, good sized portions, etc. in a cute setting with very friendly wait staff.

Great cheap eats!!!

by verybecca

Cheap food doesn't have to be junk. While there is junkfood on the menu, there are plenty of options for the health junkie. I moved around the corner from this place and I basically subsisted on the food at Lola's for the first 2 weeks after my move, and since then I have become a regular. I like anything with chicken, and the fish tacos are good too. Unfortunately, the fries are subpar. They use fresh potatoes, but they're not done right, so they come out brown but raw in the middle. I wish they would fix the fries...

• Pros: Cheap, Good Brunch, Vegetarian choices
• Cons: Sometimes greasy, bad fries

Yay Lola's!

I went to this spot after examining the menu in Appetite for a year. I was lured in by the fact that they have soy options for almost everything that includes dairy on the menu, as well as tofu subs for eggs; It is hard to find mexican tinged food with an optional vegetarian slant. Don't be put off by the minimal decor, the food is fantastic and a great value. My huevos Racheros were fantastic... Plus $5 pint glasses of Sangria!!

• Pros: great value, good vegetarian subs
